    Huh? According to the manual it goes:

    1. the player who typed the command
    2. the room the player is in
    3. the direct object, if any, and
    4. the indirect object, if any

    If the server doesn't find the verb on  any of the above objects is looks
    for a verb named 'huh' on the room that the player is in - it is in the land
    of :huh that FO's come in

    Have fun - John (aka WatsonCrick - BioMOO admin)
